Can someone critique my back routine

My main goal is width. Here is my routine:

BB rows: 315x5
Db rows: 130x10
pullups 3 sets of 10

is there anything I can do to increase my width and or thickness.

I agree with the deads - they really helped fill out my back.

explain these rev hypers shadow.
 
You're doing a 315lb bent row and you're looking for more back width? Man I wish I had that problem.

I'd just echo what Shadow said, especially on deads. Have you deadlifted before?

rev hypers are more low back glutes hams depending on the machine and the size of the strap you use
 
exactly...they should be included as they allow your "foundation" to be capable of liftingmore on ALL back exercises....if your lumbars wont support it - you cant lift it.

yes i agree..they will help you squat and pull more whether you lift in the 1-3 rep range or 8-20..its not something you need to do 20 sets of..a few heavy sets and your good

you guys have a link to it being performed? I am visual person

I disagree with deads first on back day - I am fine putting them near the end of my routine. If I do them first my lower back is too pumped to do anything else and usually my grip is shot as well.

Reverse Hypers: this exercises is regarded by many strength coaches as being the best lower back, hamstring, and glute exercise. This is because it allows you to train all these muscles in unison. This is important because these muscles of the posterior chain are the same muscles responsible for running and jumping. This is performed on a special bench invented by Louie Simmons of westside barbell club. This exercise is also being use for rehabilitation purposes for those with back problems or herniated disks. This is because the bench decompresses the disks when the weights are in the midpoint position. To perform this exercise, there is a strap the wraps around your ankles. You jump on the bench with your face down. your entire torso is supported by the bench. This allows for your legs to hang down at a 90-degree angle. You perform the movement by contracting your glutes and raise you legs up to a horizontal position. At this point you try to contract your glutes and lower back as tight as possible. Then you lower the weight past the 90-degree starting point to a position where you ankles are in alignment with your head. This is the point where the disks are stretched apart to allow fluid to enter the joints.
